Big Cottonwood Canyon




It was a beautiful day on Sunday, so we headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon to see all the snow. The canyons have had over 400 inches of snow fall this winter! I don't even know how you can plow/shovel that much snow, but they did it. Driveways/walkways looked like mazes, and the snow was piled up 12 feet high! It was a sight to see.

A path that has been plowed for walking, cross-country skiing, and a walkway to a sleding hill.

This is the entrance to Silver Lake. We have been here several time, and it is amazing how the snow transforms things.


This is Silver Lake. We were here back in October with my mom and Matt Hamlin and walked aound the lake and then....

This is where we hiked.

Flashback to October when we hiked on the side of this mountain. Now that same trail is burried under 140 inches of snow!!

This is the view on our drive back down the canyon

On our way home we stopped at Heritage Park. This park is mostly dedicated to the Pioneers and Brigham Young, so basically the Mormons. Most of the buildings were closed for the winter so we just walked around the grounds. It was so nice to feel the sun shining down on us!


We will have to go back when the train is running. Evan was a little upset that this train didn't "GO"!
